Chapter 12. Meters and entering meter cata
All meters in Navigator are tagged with a meter type to help report on the various data types. The available meter types
and a brief description can be found below:
• Billing meters: These can be used to enter the consumption as reported in the utilities company bill.
• Other meters: Other meters register other consumption and media data (e.g. outdoor temperature).
• Virtual Meter: Often used to avoid installing a real meter for cost reasons, this meter does not physi-cally exist but
represents a calculated value. You can define virtual meters as main or sub-meters.
• Exchange meter: Used for meters that need to be replaced on site, Navigator includes a meter replacement function,
which allows you to document the process, at the same time ensuring the continuity of the data.
• Multi-rate meters: These are electricity meters with separate registers for power and consumption, or for different
tariffs. Selecting one meter type will group the report to include only those meters. You can select more than one by
holding shift and clicking on another type.
It is important to note that selecting more than one meter type (i.e. sub-meter and main meter) could result
in double counting of your energy usage.
